Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be a thrilling yet challenging experience, not only because of the intense combat but also due to the hazardous environment. Understanding Soulstones and their utility can significantly enhance your gameplay. Here's a detailed guide on what Soulstones are and how to utilize them effectively in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.
What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?
As you begin your journey with Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant for various elements scattered across the levels. Beyond the lurking enemies, you'll encounter treasure chests, hard-to-reach pickups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are not merely decorative; they are crucial for enhancing your abilities.
Soulstones are scattered throughout the levels, often requiring keen observation and some platforming skills to locate them. Once you spot a Soulstone, you must destroy it using either melee attacks or your Javelin. As you progress and unlock The Crevice, a hub zone with portals to different levels, you can track how many Soulstones are available in each level.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can use through an interaction with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm.
When you speak with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the available enhancements for Khazan. Typically, you can choose to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhance the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery boosts, which can give you a significant advantage in facing the challenges ahead. It's advisable to return to Daphrona frequently to see if you've collected enough Soulstones for new benefits.
